Yazidis between the absence of a religious leader and the chaos of the "sacred industry"
Yazidis are a national and religious minority that has faced persecution and discrimination throughout its history. In recent years, Yazidis have been particularly hard hit by the ongoing conflict in Iraq and Syria.
One of the problems that Yazidis face is the lack of a strong religious institution. Yazidi Spiritual Council, which was supposed to become the governing body of religion, proved ineffective in regulating religious life and corrupt as a result of political interference.
The absence of a strong religious institution also contributed to the spread of misinformation about Yazidi faith. This disinformation was used by extremist groups to justify violence against Yazidis.
Yazidis need to create a more independent and representative Spiritual Council of Yazidis. This new council should be free from political interference and accountable to Yazidi community as a whole, it will also need to strive to preserve and promote traditional Yazidi beliefs and customs.
Another important step would be to familiarize Yazidis with their religion and its history. This would help dispel many myths and misconceptions that have contributed to the current chaos. It would also help strengthen Yazidi identity and give people a sense of belonging to a community with shared values. Yazidis have faced many challenges throughout their history, but they have always demonstrated amazing resilience.
It wouldn't be bad:
· Create a program of religious education for Yazidis. This curriculum should be taught in Yazidi schools and community centers. It should cover the history, beliefs and practices of Yazidi religion.
· Develop Yazidi religious literature. This literature should be translated into several languages and provided to Yazidis all over the world, include religious texts, as well as books and articles about the faith of Yazidis.
· It is necessary to train the religious leaders of Yazidis. These leaders should be taught Yazidi faith and how to tell others about their religion, and they should also be taught how to provide pastoral care to members of Yazidi community.
· By taking these steps, Yazidi community will be able to strengthen its religious identity and protect its faith from further destruction.
